Hi Phillipa.

Even though you obsess, I doubt that you have true OCD, and should not be treated as if you do. I would guess that you have some type of anxiety disorder. Right now, you are taking too little of any one drug to produce a substantial therapeutic effect.

Paxil 20-40 mg/day
Luvox 100-300 mg/day
Lexapro 10-30 mg/day
Xanax 2.0-4.0 mg/day

Right now, it probably makes sense to increase the dosage of Lexapro if you can tolerate it. You are already on it. Lexapro can help with GAD, OCD, and depression. If you genuinely have OCD, you would need the higher dosages of the SSRIs for longer periods of time.

There is so much that you have not tried. Are you afraid of these drugs?
